Rejected petition Repeal the government decision to exclude animal sentience in the EU bill

"There can only be one reason to deny animal sentient status and that is to exploit them"

More details

Green Party MP Caroline Lucas had submitted an amendment clause to the EU (Withdrawal) Bill, which sought to transfer the EU Protocol on animal sentience set out in Article 13 of Title II of the Lisbon Treaty into UK law, so animals continue to be recognise as sentient beings under domestic law.
